If the face he had stopped to scan; ,
For Fate had dealt him many a blow,
Now squarely and now from behind,
With sickness and poverty laying him low
Then cruelly making him blind.-'
As I dropped a pittance into his hat
I said: 'Your lot is bard;'
Rot he cheerily answered: -Yes p. is that,
For I'm blind and poor, and barred
From all that gives to life its joy,
Yet perhaps it is only my share;
For the man was never vet barn; my boy,
Who hadn't his cros to bear!
I walked through a famous uptown square,:
And envied tha rich man's ease,
But lo! on the-silver, door 'bell there
A crape llnttered out on the bj't'J. j

A . LETTER TO
GOVEBSR
t
12.--My Dear Governor : I have re
ceived your favor of the 11th inst. In
my letter of acceptance I expressed
ray full sympathy with our American
industries. I thought I spoke plainly
enough to satisfy our Jersey friends
regarding ray tariff views. I om too
sound an American to advocate any
departure from the general features of
the policy tli9t has been largely instrn-'
mental iu building up o&r industries
and keeping Americans from the com
petition 'of the underpaid labor of
Europe. If we intend to remain hon
est and pay the public debt, as good,
people of all parties do, and if we
mean to administer the functions of
government, then we must raise rev
enue in some way or other. With a
reunited aiid harmonious country we
shall certainly pay off the public debt,
but the necessity of receiving mosey
for the administration of -the govern-1
ment will continue as long as human
nature lasts. All parties pgrce that
the best way for us 4.0 raise revenue' is:
largely by tariff. So, far as we are
concerned, therefore, all talk aberut
"free trade" is 'folly.' But the ' tariff
question will probably be treated with
justice to all interests and people by
some such bill as Eaton 3. I believe'
that a commi&sioii of intelligent experts
representing both tha government
and American industries will suggest
tariff Measures tbat will relieve us 'of
any crudities and inconsistencies ex
isting in our present laws,. and confirm
to u a system: which .will be judicious,1
jut, harmonious, and incidentally
protective as well a3 stable ' in ! its
effect. " . .

In the case of DcJarnette, convicted

A large n-rscMer business men of

ing the election of Hancock, and de
clare that his election cannot injure
possibly the business interests of the
country.-. They refer to the causes of
cne nara limes lowowing ue panic Ol
187$ and the eventual return of pros
the panic of

natural causes. They" conclude:
Hence the claim that the country owes

that it will 00 to ruin If that nartw IJ
